I guess it *is* about you and how you feel in terms of the possiblility of changing someone. One can only help so much. At least this is my experience.

DJs never really strike me as someone with a talent worth making money over. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's just my own personal feeling.
It's sad that he died of a drug overdose though, regardless of who he is.

A pair of Technic 1200s + a box of records no one else has + the ability to actually mix records (which is harder than it sounds) + impeccable taste and a sense of how to keep a party moving = DJ
It's not as easy as people think.

"What you need son isn't to go to Ikea and get the small plates and glasses like the Europeans use and run around on the treadmill every once in a while, what you need is for me to do is divide your stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger, lower 'remnant' pouch and then re-arrange the small intestine to allow both pouches to stay connected to it ... yep, that's what you need alright."

(Please don't ask why Nicole Ritchie is newsworthy)

"He was best known for once dating Nicole Richie... having over 1000 shoes... and a former crack addict."
Must be a slow week.

I hope we can all put aside the petty issues and think hope the 1,000 sneakers are well taken care of by his estate. This kid was "street" with a capital "eet." 1,000 sneakers and a crack habit and an MTV deal. He’s just like any of us.

And, while we're at it, respect to Jeremy Blake and a memory for his greatness.
And sure, it's all about it could be you...or me for that matter.

If the paps are so hungry for a hideous visage, they should be following Lisa Rinna around.

2)Gawker longtimers,forgive me for reposting this anecdote:but back in the late 80's when my mom was battling liver cancer in St. Vincents in NYC, it was actually OK for patients and family to smoke in the oncology ward lounge (and yes my mom also said, "well what the hell difference does it make now?"). It was great to sit there with her and see people with chemo drips, jaws half cut away, limbs amputated, all sucking away at their cigs. But my all time fave was the 60sih guy who had had throat cancer, a partial laryngectomy , I think, who smoked through his tracheostomy. He had to hold his nose and close his mouth to get the smoke to his lungs, but damn, he did it.
Oh, and by the way, mom lived 2 1/2 years with the liver cancer when she had originally been given a prognosis of six months. She swore it was because she kept he weight up eating a least one pint of ice cream daily (another in the list of, "so what.."). Mom actually had a great time with cancer, but that's a longer story...

I'm glad, in the face of adversity (terminal throat/lip/lung cancer) he can still maintain his old habits.

Swayze has panceas cancer, not throat/lip/lung cancer. Get your facts straight.
I lost both my mom and my maternal grandmother to pancreas cancer. Smoking exacerbates it, but it doesn't directly cause it. Grandma never smoked a day in her life, as a matter of fact, and mom was a light smoker. Pavarotti died of PanCan, but was not a smoker. However, both is parents died of the disease.
I don't believe St. Steve (Jobs) is a smoker either.
If I am ever handed the death sentence that Swayze has - and pancreas cancer is indeed a death sentence - you can bet that i would spend the last months of my life smoking, drinking, drugging and fucking.
So get out of your ivory tower, get some education, and start getting involved in really educating the public about a hideous disease which is horribly unfunded and under-researched.
